Sundar first dismissed Allen for 35 and then what followed next surprised everyone on the field. Sundar plucked a one-handed stunner to send Mark Chapman back to the pavilion for duck.
Chapman seemed to have taken aback with a slower one from Sundar as he pushed forward in defence, the ball went up in the air. Sundar made a full-length dive to his right to take a one-handed catch.
Earlier, India skipper Hardik Pandya won the toss and elected to bowl for the first of three Twenty20 internationals.
The hosts, who come fresh from their 3-0 sweep of the Kiwis in the one-day series, have picked wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav ahead of Yuzvendra Chahal.
